Ocean trade is highly profitable, but it is not something that ordinary small chambers of commerce can do.

Now that 1,500 years have passed since the Continental Era, the "golden routes" opened up by mankind are only from the imperial capital to the free port, and from the free port to the Thousand Islands in the south.

When I was a child at Sissel Public School, Fei Fei looked at the map of the mainland area and was puzzled by the trade between the Thousand Island Kingdom and the free port to the imperial capital.

Obviously, traders from the Thousand Islands Country can go directly north to the three southern counties of the Olanto Kingdom, and can go to any country via the mainland.

But reality gave Fei Fei a resounding slap.

From the mouth of the three southern counties, whether you go out to sea by boat or take an airship south from the sky, you will eventually turn to St. Trite.

This is the famous space trap theory in mainland China.

There are also individual adventurers who have passed through the "space trap" and reached the other shore. However, when they returned according to the navigation chart, they found that they had entered the strange circle of the trap again.

Walking again from the starting point, the result is the same.

An old scholar in the imperial capital said that the entire Brave Continent is a crystal ball of the gods, and all living beings are the "fun" of the gods trapped in the crystal ball!

It took several epochs for the human race to become the dominant force on the continent, and it took hundreds of years of overcoming obstacles for the human race to push its power to the offshore.

There is a great terror in the deep sea, this is what the sea people who occasionally come to Saint Trite say.

Powerful sea monsters and an ocean full of "space traps" are really terrifying to say the least.

However, since there is the first golden waterway, there will be a second and third one!

The citizens of St. Trite believe this.

Thousands of sails stand in the forest, and hundreds of boats compete for the current!

This is Feifan’s true understanding of the Freeport’s outlet.

In the bay where the ships were moored, Feifan and his party sat in a tavern next to the pier, watching the ferries tow large ships out of the bay.

"Sir, Grand Duke Vasari invites you to attend tomorrow's sacrificial event!"

Looking at the invitation with black background and gold rim on the oak table, the huge golden anchor comes alive among the dancing iron ropes.

"Okay! Nothing happened anyway! By the way, is Lisa busy with celebrations recently?"

"Yes, the date to visit Magic Sealer Aaron Boris is set on the last day of the month!"

Afterwards, Gu Lie explained some things to note on the celebration day, but Feifan looked at a scene on the dock that should not have appeared in the Freeport.

A middle-aged man wearing a tax officer's robe, accompanied by two city guards, was whipping a young man with a dark red face.

"The free country that everyone longs for, the Free Port of St. Trite, will inevitably be mixed with darkness and blood!"

Fei Fei sighed, but his blood was not boiling, and the road was uneven.

Seeing that Extraordinary's attention turned to the window and he said something inconsistent, the three of them ended the conversation and looked out the window together.

Within a few seconds, the fat man said: "Obviously, that fisherman is an outsider, what is called a 'free citizen' here! Due to the storm a few days ago, I guess I didn't harvest much fish, so I couldn't pay the taxes. "

In the Vasari Grand Duke's Mansion, the tax on citizens is 1 out of 20, and the tax on free people is 3 out of 10.

In Freeport, there was only one kind of person who did not pay taxes, and that was slaves.

"Free citizens are also divided into different levels. Ordinary people who can only rely on physical strength to earn income can at most make ends meet! Even so, they are much better than the refugees in the interior!"

Listening to Francis's words, the extraordinary fisherman who was beaten outside the window could not see the hatred or humiliation in his eyes, and even felt a little ashamed.

A fine sharkskin whip with a ruby ​​inlaid at the end of the handle.

The scolding tax collector led the city guards away. The fisherman, who had a few bloodstains on his face, hunched over and muttered words of gratitude to the back of the departing tax collector.

"No newspaper in York County has ever published the issue of civil strife in Freeport. Some fishermen who could not bear the oppression and exploitation were sent to the open-air arena to be fed to monsters!"

This is Francis's talent. As long as he comes to a place, he can learn about the unknown side of the city within a few days.

So now Dosta is still visiting this great city, and sincerely feels that the big city in the orc territory may surpass it in scale, but in terms of prosperity, it is not even worse than one and a half stars.

"Hey, what does that person who went up to hug the young fisherman do?" Anna saw the three people walking towards the fisherman outside and asked the fat man in confusion.

"The elder holding the young man comforting wears 'clasped hands' on his chest. That is the mentor of the 'Mutual Aid Association'! How to not lose the goal in the hardships during the guidance meeting! Take a look, an organization that leads people to do good! It is everywhere! The whole Freeport!”

Seeing the frail and gray elder hugging the fisherman, then taking the medicine from the waiter and carefully applying it to the fisherman, Anael also felt that the "Mutual Aid Association" was a very human organization.

"Hehe!" The fat man laughed strangely.

He stretched out his foot and kicked Francis on the bench, looking at him with dissatisfaction.

"Miss Anal, you may not know that the 'Mutual Aid Association' is the 'Brotherhood', haha! The full name of 'Brotherhood' is the 'Mutual Aid Union of Brothers and Sisters of Sufferers'."

Fei Fei and Anna were both a little dumbfounded when they heard the name of the union, which was composed of the longest word in their cognition.

"This? Will the Grand Duke's Palace allow you to blatantly walk on the street with your breast badge?"

"The Brotherhood is a wanted organization in other countries, but it is a legal organization in Freeport! So the apparent headquarters of the Brotherhood is located here!"

"The president of the mutual aid association, San Dictto Facario, is a ninth-level 'Sword Master'. Of course, although the city-state of Saint Trite has more foundation, who would easily provoke a force with holy-level combat power? ?”

What Gu Lie said was much more meaningful than what Francis said.

Beautiful scenery requires a pair of eyes to discover!

Similarly, on their way back, with a certain purpose in their eyes, several people inadvertently spotted many members of the mutual aid association wearing palm badges.

The few people wandering on the street did not know that there was a fierce debate about Fei Fei in the Grand Duke's palace.

Grand Duke Varissa, who was sitting high on the exquisite armchair, said nothing and looked coldly at the ministers of the Free City State who were sitting on both sides of the platform.

The Minister of War and the Minister of Finance were divided into two factions, and they fought hard over the steam engine, the core of the extraordinary locomotive.

The main fighting party demanded that Cordo Feifan be detained on the spot and take control of the core technology of increasing the power of the steam locomotive's core steam engine.

The Finance Minister firmly resisted on the pretext of investing too much money in producing something flashy.

In the middle of the conference hall was a six-wheeled carriage, just a wildebeest without a traction.

Only at the rear of the carriage is a steam engine dismantled from a locomotive.

Scholars and alchemists in Freeport have dismantled no less than ten steam engines. After opening the internal structure and manufacturing them according to the drawings, they were never as powerful as the original ones.

The scholars and alchemist masters who were at a loss to do anything set their sights on Yorkshire in the distance.

Later, there was a trade group represented by Lisa, but they failed.

Then a plan to kidnap Fei Fei and Klin was put on the agenda, but failed due to Fei Fei's mysterious disappearance.

Now that the main target has fallen into the trap, the scholars and alchemists of the Free Cities cannot sit still.

However, in two years, the Free City State invested a lot of manpower and material resources, which made the faction represented by the Minister of Finance very dissatisfied.

Lisa, a diplomat from the city-state of Saint Trite, is a member of the Finance Minister faction.
